      Devils advocate, ignoring possible outside factors for behavioural changes is also a disservice to acknowledging how prevalent bigotry is, black mould of course over long term exposure would most likely just cause confusion and memory loss, but lead? Lead will fuck your brain right up and send you down all sorts of nasty paths.

      Of course she may just be this way, but again, if there is even the possibility for an environmental factor causing degradation into this mindset for a large percentage of the population, it must be addressed or at least considered

          No, kindly don’t tell me what I’m saying. I’m playing devil’s advocate to your comment which said “it actually doesn’t explain anything”, I’m saying why that statement has no weight behind it.

          And who’s deciding what’s too literal here? You? From where I’m standing it seems like you just didn’t like me disagreeing with you. If I’m being too literal may I suggest you’re possibly being too emotional and holistic?

          Perhaps separate your feelings on the woman and what she’s done and look at evidence for possibilities rather than lashing out with a simple absolute like “Sad reality is she is just a nasty, hateful person.”

      I was joking. I don’t think that bigotry is that prevalent. But growing distant to your fellow humans due to becoming stupid rich makes you more succeptible to it.
